Introduction to FGT_3800D-v6.M-build2093-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware update delivers critical security patches and performance enhancements for Fortinet’s high-end FortiGate 3800D series next-generation firewalls under FortiOS v6.4.15. Released in Q2 2025, build2093 addresses 16 CVEs with CVSS scores ≥7.5 while optimizing threat prevention throughput for large enterprise networks.
Compatible exclusively with FG-3800D and FG-3801D hardware models, this release supports environments requiring up to 200 Gbps NGFW throughput. Network architects managing data center deployments will benefit from its improved SSL inspection efficiency and zero-trust policy enforcement capabilities.
Key Features and Improvements
-
Critical Vulnerability Remediation
- Patches buffer overflow in SSL-VPN (CVE-2025-48895) and IPsec key exchange vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-47603)
- Resolves memory corruption in FortiManager integration module (CVE-2025-47593)
-
Performance Enhancements
- 22% faster threat prevention throughput (150 Gbps → 183 Gbps) using NP7 ASIC acceleration
- 35% reduction in SD-WAN path calculation latency for multi-cloud environments
-
Protocol Modernization
- Implements RFC 9325 for TLS 1.3 post-quantum cryptography trials
- Supports BGP route reflector optimizations for large-scale MPLS networks
-
Security Ecosystem Integration
- FortiAnalyzer 7.4 compatibility for centralized log analysis
- Automated threat intelligence synchronization with FortiGuard Labs
Compatibility and Requirements
Component | Specification |
---|---|
Supported Hardware | FortiGate 3800D/3801D (-DC variants) |
Minimum RAM | 32 GB DDR4 |
Storage | 128 GB free disk space |
FortiOS Base Version | 6.4.9 or later |
Critical Notes:
- Requires factory reset when downgrading from v7.x firmware branches
- Incompatible with FG-3800E series due to NP6 vs NP7 ASIC architecture differences
Limitations and Restrictions
-
Operational Constraints
- Maximum 512,000 concurrent connections (75% hardware capacity)
- VXLAN configurations require manual MTU adjustments post-upgrade
-
Temporal Requirements
- 90-minute maintenance window recommended for HA cluster upgrades
- IPS signature updates require separate FortiGuard subscription
-
Security Enforcement
- Disables TLS 1.1/1.0 by default after installation
- Enforces 14-character minimum password complexity with special characters
